  • Publication number: 20180184832
    Abstract: This invention creates a unique and simplified version of the disposable communion container. Two compartments are formed at opposite ends of the container from one piece of food grade, clear plastic material requiring only one thermo-forming application. This prevents the confusion and difficulty opening overlapping lids or closures that requires thinly pressed, circular wafers to be used for the bread element. This invention also prevents the possibility of opening a compartment by accident possibly causing a spill of the elements. The compartment created for the bread is large enough to hold a biscuit shaped cracker with distinct flavors and texture. A simpler container with larger compartments accommodating elements that conform closer to the Scriptural description of traditional and sacred communion elements.

  • Publication number: 20180078798
    Abstract: A user-wearable device incorporates a respirator or breathing air filter in combination with an electronic system providing functionality to a wearing user. The functionality can include, for example, physiological data sensing, environmental data sensing, user input, user output, and communication network connectivity. The electronic system can be configured to communicate with an application executing on a user host device, such as a mobile phone, tablet or personal computer for transferring information gathered by the user-wearable device. The application executing on the user host device can be used to configure the user-wearable device. User host devices of multiple users can be configured to report gathered data to a data management system, which can aggregate and store data and perform analysis on the aggregated data. Various control arrangements may be used.

  • Patent number: 9755269
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to new compositions comprising an, B12FxH12?x? anion that may be prepared chemically or electrochemically by oxidation of B12FxH12?x2? salts. This anion can be generated electrochemically in a voltammetry experiment, or by chemically by treatment of the (2?) anions with powerful oxidants such as XeF2 or NO2(+) salts. The new compositions can be used as 1 electron chemical oxidants and in electrochemical cells such as lithium ion batteries where their formation at elevated potential can serve to limit the upper limit of voltage during the overcharge of such a cell.
